## NAME

sqldbc\_cons - trace manager utility for libSQLDBC of the MaxDB database system

## SYNOPSIS

**sqldbc\_cons** \[options\] command

## DESCRIPTION

sqldbc\_cons is a tool to generate traces of calls of the SQLDBC library of the MaxDB database system. It is mainly used for debugging purposes.

- **-v**

  Verbose operation.

- **-p** *pid*

- **-f**
